iHeartMedia engineer Ron Foo reported that, on August 23, 2024, John Rigg, Regional Lead Engineer for the group, fell at the 52nd Street, San Diego transmitter site and sustained serious neck and facial injuries. Ron was with John at the time of the accident and was able to call 991 to have him transported to a hospital.

John underwent a long surgery early the next week. His wife, Cathy, reported to Steve Cilurzo last week that he is making daily progress in his rehabilitation. 

John Rigg has been an engineering manager for iHeartMedia (previously Clear Channel Corporation) for the San Diego market since 2006. His management responsibilities expanded to include the Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Honolulu markets. 

Construction crews have been working to abandon the Emerald Hills transmitter site, now owned by Vertical Bridge and due for residential development. KOGO 600 AM is moving to the KGB-AM 760 site adjacent to Santee. Meanwhile, the FM stations at Emerald Hills, KLNV 106.5 and KWFN 97.3, are moving to the 52nd Street Site to join KGB-FM 101.5, KHTS 93.3, and KLSD 1360 kHz.
